live from atlanta, we want to welcome our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm george howell. "cnn newsroom" starts right now. we begin with breaking news out of the united kingdom. authorities say they have arrested a second person in relation to the bombing. a number of items were recovered. they're also searching an address in this area west of london. officials say the current terrorism threat remains at critical. this is what an official had to say about attacks. >> we have a considerable threat. my colleagues in the intelligence agencies would say that this is a shift in threat. it's not a spike. i won't go on in detail about that, but it is a changed threat. that does not, by any means,

necessarily mean that people have to get used. in fact, god forbid that they get used to repeated attacks. . we're doing everything we k we're working really closely with the government. there's clearly a lot of soul searching that is going on and needs to go on about how we can really reduce this threat to a much, much lower level as soon as we possibly can. >> let's get the latest live from london. nina del santos following this. what is the significance of these latest developments? >> reporter: the fact that there's a second arrest here that's been made is being viewed as rather significant. because obviously, it widens the potential net here. authorities saying that they're keeping a very open mind about whether this could have been a wider network than just one individual. and we know that this individual that's been arrested late yesterday evening is a 21 year old man who was arrested there

in the borough nine miles away from parson's green. authorities not releasing the identity of the 18-year-old or the identity of the 21 year old. we know throughout the course of yesterday afternoon and still into the course of today, a property at sunbury on thames is under lockdown. it has been searched by police officers. there's been a lot of speculation about who resides at that property and a lot of talk in the british media about how it is home to an elderly couple who have been known for fostering children all the way back since the 1970s. they've reportedly received accolades from the queen herself for their foster work and taken in a number of refugee children, including those from war-torn parts of the middle east and

also africa. that has not been confirmed by the metropolitan police. at this hour, all they're telling us is that that search in that property is still under way, and it's too early at this stage to say who these individuals are publicly and whether they were known to authorities before being arrested under the suspicion of preparing to commit terrorist attacks. they're currently being held at a south london police station. >> we heard the police official mention the fact that the terror level, it is at critical, you know, the question for many people, how long will it remain that high? so all of this pressure on the prime minister, how is the prime minister handling so much pressure, given the latest ait tec -- attacks and the heightened threat level? >> reporter: she is the only prime minister in the last 12 years to have faced a heightened

security level, a concerted level ever threats to this country, let's put it plainly. with five attacks this year and four of them target eing the british capital. it is the largest since the i.r.a. campaigns in the '70s. she famously cut salaries, curbed salaries for police officers, including here at scotland yard and cut the police force down by around 20%. so those decisions are coming back to haunt her once again as they did at the aftermath of the manchester attack. it is still at a critical level when it comes to the security threat. that means another attack could be imminent. it is constantly under review.

the metropolitan police will tell you. it normally stays at a critical level when it is upscaled to this for about two to three days based on what we saw the last time was raised in the aftermath of the manchester attack, now whether or not there is a second arrest, it could stay critical or come down. >> following this investigation, another person arrested in this case. we'll stay in touch with you, thank you. more pressure on north korea through sanctions. that was the president of moon jae-in and donald trump during a phone cal hours ago. the two condemned north korea's latest missile test on friday and discussed the need for washington and seoul to work more closely together moving forward. the leaders plan to continue their discussions when they meet later this week for the u.n. general assembly session in new york. the trump white house says it

has not changed its position on quitting the paris climate accord. earlier, a european diplomat told reporters it appeared the u.s. had softened its position on the issue. he said u.s. officials had indicated recently the u.s. would review the terms of the paris accord and would not seek to renegotiate it. but the white house says president trump's announcement in june, that announcement still stands. listen. >> as of today, the united states will cease all implementation of the non-binding, paris accord and the draconian financial and economic burdens the agreement imposes on our country. >> so the confusion here, the question is, is the united states in or out of the pairris accord? >> reporter: the white house is pushing back on this "wall

street journal" report. this is the statement we got from deputy press secretary lindsey walters. she said there has been no change in the united states' position on the paris agreement, as the president has made abundantly clear. the u.s. is withdrawing unless we can reenter on terms more favorable to our country. that very much echoes what we heard in the president in that rose garden address in june when he said we will see if we can negotiate and make a deal that's fair. that is key to the white house's argument, that the deal is not fair to the u.s. and hurts the u.s. economy and workers. this is a campaign promise, something that candidate trump ran on doing. he ran on canceling the paris accord. it's important to remember, even though he announced the u.s. would be withdrawing in june, this is a lengthy process. it was something that was going to take until november of 2020. it's also important to point out

that the u.s. sets its own goals when it comes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions under this agreement. so that is something the u.s. could look to change, to change those targets that it set for itself. but this has now become something of a muddle, now that you have this eu official telling reporters what a white house official told the eu official. this is something that the white house so going to have to address at the united nations general assembly next week. top chick adviser, gary cohen was set to meet with climate ministers from about a dozen countries. they're going to want to hear what the white house's stance is on this, if there has been any change, but this also speaks to the larger challenge the president faces heading into the u.n. general assembly, which is how to promote his america-first agenda at a meeting of the united nations, a global body, that is all about addressing global issues. 195 countries signed onto this climate accord.

they certainly see this as a global issue, the issue of climate change. so we'll have to wait and see whether the white house has any more to say about their stance ong this on this in the coming days. >> athena jones, thanks. let's bring in our guest. let's start with these reports. the white house either softening or reconsidering its position on the paris climate accord. again, this is something the white house denies firmly, but the decision itself, to back out of this agreement, part of the president's america-first position, what impact would you say that's had on the u.s. standing around the world so far? >> well, the u.s. position on climate change under trump and the u.s. position of trade under trump are the two things that are most out of step with the rest ever the world. and it is something he will have to address with the u.n. general assembly this week. because most of the world got on board with this agreement that

the u.s. lechltd nd. trump's position seems to be the same as it was in june other than this bit of a blip. he may have another issue to address in terms evof climate again. >> there's this issue. a rumor about a tweak. there's also the talks the president had with democrats about daca, which came to the surprise of his own party. so we've seen more ideological advisers of the president leave the white house. is this a sign, brian that perhaps more traditional republicans are gaining some ground here? >> i don't think so. i think trump is still governing like a republican, but he's still an impulsive person. i don't think he's changed draw mat cla matically. i think his signaling that he is willing to work on something, like daca, just shows that can

he read a poll. so i don't think that we've seen some new and totally different trump so far, and i think that the world, going into the general assembly is really worried about his leadership. we've seen in surveys around the world, a massive decline in confidence in america, in south korea, down 71%. here in the uk down 57%. as he goes into this, he's willingly sacrificing america's diplomatic power, because a lot of these issues that he doesn't have the moral authority on globally are not playing well in the rest ever the world. that's a very big problem for the united states and its image. >> is this not a more pragmatic donald trump, given that he saw ahead of him the possible shutdown of government. he also had not passed major legislation, so shifting over to democrats, was this the

president actually applying strategy here to have the success? >> yes, these are bright spots. i don't want to pretend otherwise. but we have to also be realizing that there are small bright spots in a sea of otherwise impulsive leadership. so you have effectively, trump agreed not to shut down the government. that's not something to be celebrated, but to be expected. he agreed to pay the bills that the u.s. accrued for the next three months and he's will the kick children who came to the u.s. by their parents out. so to read into them this idea that all of a sudden trump has turned a page and we should forget the last two and a half years is a mistake. it's a short-sighted one that would lead us to believe something about trump that i believe is untrue. >> there is certainly a lot that has happened since the president has taken office.

there's a great deal of political back and forth to cover for sure. the u.n. general assembly is set to host world leaders. one big topic, north korea, should we expect anything new in the u.n. or possibly china, doing more as the ouu.s. presids been pushing? >> he's going to push china and russia to be more on board with sanctions. to be clear, there is no solution that does not involve coercive options. any military option would lead to houfrnl to hundreds of thousands of deaths and possibly a nuclear war. we'll see if trump is up to the task this time in trying to get more nations on board to have these sanctions bite. he has the inherent problem of

the three presidedecessors. fundamentally, this is the biggest threat to international security facing the world right now. >> brian klaas, thank you. moving on now to the u.s. state of missouri. authorities have arrested nine more people during weekend protests against police violence. the demonstrations started when a former police officer was found not guilty of the murder of a shooting death of an african-american man back in 2011. ryan young has this report for us. >> reporter: we are on del mar boulevard. you can see behind me the heavy machinery the police brought in here. that's a baro-cat and officers in riot gear. about 50% of the businesses coming down del mar boulevard look like they've suffered some kind of damage. we were standing in the crowd. look, the organizers told the peaceful marchers to go home.

about a half hour after that we saw another group that decided to stay here. that started to build and there was a confrontation between police and those protesters. at some point, someone started throwing rocks and bottles at officers. they started breaking out went dose -- windows of businesses. we saw cars racing down the street. and we saw officers advancing. at this point you can see how they staged to make sure that that property damage should stop. ki te i can tell you there were tense moments that were very scary. police got it back under control in about 30 minutes. ryan young, cnn, st. louis. >> thank you for the report. a week after hurricane irma devastated much of the caribbean, many people on the island are struggling to deal with the destruction left behind. we head to st. martin after the break to see how recovery efforts there are playing out.

west told martin savage, residents need to be prepared for the conditions, you see there the conditions many will return home to. >> i tell them that be prepared to be shocked when you get here. don't expect ah tll the service that you need, that you can just call somebody and they will come over and fix it. be patient. if you do come back, don't be upset when things don't go exactly as you plan. and if you come back, be part of the solution not a problem. >> such a strong storm, a lot of devastation, and it's going to take time to rebuild. here's something that many in the caribbean may not want to hear, but more misery seems to be headed for the caribbean islands. they're already devastated. eric van dam is here to tell us about tropical storm maria. >> gaining strength, 5:00 a.m. update, this is the last news that people want to hear, but as

you said so eloquently there, george, people need to listen up. if you are in the lesser antilles right now. tropical storm maria is strengthening and heading your way. many of the islands impacted by irma not seven, eight days ago will feel the impacts of maria. it is located about 450 miles east-southeast of the lesser antilles. winds 60 miles per hour or 100 clomts p kilometers per hour. gusts are higher than that, near the center of the circulation. and this is an image that was taken a couple days ago on the island of st. martin. that was devastated by irma. and they are facing yet another threat from maria. they are in the hurricane watches across the leeward islands, including st. martin. you can seat tropical storm watches new to the 5:00 a.m.

updates. they've included barbados in the tropical storm watch as well. the latest forecast path does show rapid intensification up to a major category three hurricane, 205 kilometer per hour or roughly 120-mile-per-hour sustained winds. we have three-named concurrent storms, jose on the east coast of the u.s. maria and tropical storm lee. this is nearly the peak of the season or we've just passed over that. so one would expect an active tropical season, but good riddance. we have seen our fair share this year. reminds me of 2004 and 2005, though we're not quite there yet. here's an update on hurricane jose, a large and expansive storm system. the official track keeps it off the east coast. that doesn't mean we won't feel the impacts from the outer banks to the southeastern new england coastline. dangerous rip currents, it's all

there, it's just that we do not anticipate a direct landfall across that region, sway bwhich bit of a silver lining. >> stay with us. i want to talk about the recovery in st. martin. the island still struggling a week after mushing irma roared through as a category five hurricane, and this map gives perspective. the north of the island administered by france, the south by the netherlands. the residents are in desperate need of help. our cla rissa ward takes a look at how people are coping on the french side of the island. >> reporter: from above, you can see the true scale of irma's violent force. roofs ripped off. trees battered bare. down on the trashed clogged streets, locals work to rebuild their lives with little more than their bare hands. time here has stood still since

irma hit six days ago. >> right now, the momentum is desperate. we are in desperate need of help. >> reporter: garbage is the biggest threat. >> we see a lot of rats. and they carry diseases that we really don't need at this time. that's my biggest concern. >> reporter: scenes like this are carried out across many parts of the caribbean. house after house, street after street largely devastated. and the basic aid trickling in is dwarfed by the scale of the need. christopher terras says many feel abandoned. >> on top of this, my wife has cancer. she needs help. and we don't get any help. because we are no roof. we have no water. we have no electricity. no medication.

you know, when you have a cancer, you know you're going to die. at least to die, better than that, you know. >> reporter: every day, desperate families are trying to get out. the military has set up a check point where they wait, just half a mile from the airport. after more than 14 hours in the steamy heat, a lucky few are chosen to go. leaving behind the battered remains of irma's wrath. most have no idea when they will be able to return. clarissa ward, cnn, on the french side of st. martin. >> clarissa ward reporting. thank you. still ahead on "cnn newsroom," the palestinian group hamas is paving the way for possible reconciliation. plus, world leaders come together in new york for the

at the port of dover. police have searched an address west of the city of london. the white house says it has not changed its stance on quitting the paris climate accord. that contradicts a diplomat who says the u.s. may have softened its position about leaving. world leaders will look for clarification on that when the u.n. general assembly assemblinassembles this week. tropical storm maria has sustained winds of 50 miles per hour. the storm is forecast to strengthen and could become a hurricane by monday. the palestinian group, hamas is opening the possibility of reconciling gaza and the west bank. hamass says it is ready to dissolve the committee that rules gaza and hold general lek suns. oren liebermann is following this for us. this is a big statement.

the question though, where does it go from here? >> reporter: is a very significant statement, and it comes after egypt-led days of negotiations between cairo and fattah which i'm sorry, hamass runs gaza. the statement was that they would dissolve their committee and work toward general elections. hamas established it earlier this week. it was derided as a shadow government by mahmoud abbas in the west bank, and they saw it as a way for hamas to entrench their control of gaza. so the fact that they have made the statement that they're willing to dissolve their straig administrative committee and work with creating a unified government with the palestinian government is a big statement. the problem is. the people have heard similar statements of unity governments, that's why it is only a statement as of now.

follows up on the statements of hamas and the palestinian authority in the west bank. we haven't yet got and statement from them. how they respond will be critical here. if they accept the statement from hamas, it could be a big step toward reunification, but if they put a qualifier or a condition on it, it could remain nothing more than a statement with no followup actions. >> how might that work, moving toward general elections? >> reporter: so the palestinian authority as it stands right now is essentially run by fattah. there is no hamas involvement and there hasn't been for a decade now. the eidea would be to bring in hamas and be a government that represents the different factions. that hasn't happened when hamas kicked the palestinian authority outside of gaza. how that works depends on

general elections. part of it that's important to remember is the humanitarian crisis inside gaza. in an attempt to exert pressure on hamas and pressure on gaza. mahmoud abbas has cut salaries inside gaza, reduced the electricity to gaza and limited medicines going in. that was an attempt to pressure hamas. it widened the rift. that's why it's such an important statement saying they're willing to reconcile. they're in need of cash, in need of help. they've turned to turkey, the uae and egypt. and this follows all of that. this big statement saying they're willing to work with faw t fattah. >> how might this be received by israel? >> reporter: that's an excellent question. we haven't got and response yet. netanyahu is on the other side of the world at this point, he's

in north america getting ready for the united nations general assembly. but in talking to palestinian officials in the past, many have pointed out that only the israelis benefit from the split. it's not clear from israel's perspective at this point. prime minister benjamin netanyahu will speak and abbas will speak. it will be critical to see how they play this and where this goes from here. >> oren lieberman, thanks for the report and we'll stay in touch with you on it. coalition forces say a russian attack injured members of the u.s.-backed syrian democratic forces. the strike hit the group near deir ezzor. it is not a coordinated effort. at u.s.-backed forces who want

to overthrow the syrian president, bashar al assad. he' the president will address world leaders and in the large hall will be the delegation from north korea, a country who's nuclear program presents one of the world a's most pressing issues. >> reporter: the flags are up. it's time for another global get together. as always, the united states is the host country. a host with the edge from the start of the year. >> from those who don't have our back, we're taking names. >> reporter: none bigger than president trump himself whose name has been up the street from the u.n. for years at the trump world tower building. >> this general assembly is about one man, donald trump. and the big question is, will trump insult the u.n. or try to

make friends at the u.n.? >> reporter: trump, a new york real estate mogul has not always embraced the u.n. nearly five years ago he tweeted, the cheap 12-inch marble tiles behind the speaker at the u.n. always bothered me. i will replace with beautiful, large marble slabs if they ask me. he was more conciliatory in april. >> i have long felt the united nations is an underperformer but has tremendous potential. >> reporter: president trump will speak to the entire world for the first time from here at the general assembly rostrum. the leader who vowed fire and fury if kim jong un threatens the oust will be closer to north koreans than he ever has been go his life. the north korean delegation will be seated here in the front row,

20 feet away from where president trump speaks to the general assembly. there have been memorable speeches. gaddafi, achavez warned that th devil had been there in the form of president bush. >> you're going to have the president that has gone against isis in syria and iraq at record pace. >> reporter: other first-time speakers include emmanuel macron of france. it is also the first u.n. general assembly for antonio guterres. >> the most serious crisis is the threat from the people's republic of korea. >> we thought trump was going to trash the organization, but his

single biggest priority containing north korea is being handled right here in the security council. >> reporter: trump will also call for more reform of the u.n. unclear if he again, demands changing of the marble. richard roth, united nations. the pentagon says transgendered troops are allowed to re-enlist in the united states military, this coming from the pentagon as officials review president trump's ban on transgender recruits. the president's recent order sparked controversy. many critics calling it discriminatory. transgendered troops have been openly serving in the united states military since june of 2016. multiple protests took place in washington, d.c. one significant protest was in support of president trump. others, though, were standing up for black lives matter, and one was marching on behalf of the most hated band in the world. our ryan nobles has a look at

the opposing rallies. >> reporter: there was a heavy police presence in washington, d.c. on saturday as a number of rallies from a variety of different perspectives took place. one of them was the mother of all rallies. this was a group of donald trump supporters who gathered near the washington monument, not under the banner of republican or democrat but with the goal of united behind president trump. and there was a moment that could have turned out bad, when a group of black lives matter supporters approached the stage. one of the people on stage speaking on behalf of president trump invited the black lives matter supporters on stage and this is what happened. >> this is what i want all to do. i want y'all to listen to me very carefully. i'm henry davis. i'm a brother. i'm brother. i want y'all to step back behind that line. if you want to be on this stage with me. i want y'all to get behind that line and don't come past that line. all right?

i'm giving y'all a chance to put your fists up. don't say a word. don't disrespect my platform. are we clear? no, you're not going to say nothing. if you want to say something, you got to go down now. this is my platform. i'm giving you a chance to stay here. don't nobody want to hear you scream. security, get them off the stage. >> reporter: protesters from black lives matter ended up leaving the stage peacefully. there was no violence at any time. there were a number of instances where there were minor skirmishes and they ended amicably. this was the goal of this rally, to speak on behalf of the president but go a much difference way than charlottesville. overall, a very peaceful but vocal day in the nastion's capital. this person, a nobel laureate celebrated around the world. but myanmar's defactor lead fac

need of food. in cities around the world, protesters are demanding myanmar's de facto leader, aung san suu kyi do more. >> reporter: humanitarian's harrowing. alight in the dark or just simply the lady. myanmar's aung san suu kyi sacrificed much of her life fighting for what she believed in. she later spent nearly two decades under house arrest as a political prisoner. but from seeing her children grow up and her husband die of cancer. her dedication to human rights and democracy, her time in captivity inspired her country and won her a landslide election

victory in 2015. internationally, she was also recognized with a nobel peace prize and became known as asia's mandela. but now the prize and her halo have been tarnished. she's now criticized for her silence over her country's brutal crackdown on the rohingya muslim population in rakhine state. her fell low nobel laureate has called on her to speak her conscience. >> i'm very disappointed. she's an icon of the whole world. she has stood for democracy, she worked for people, she puts a lot of sacrifices. and the whole world was behind her. they wanted to see her dreams come true. and luckily, her dreams came true. she was overwhelmingly elected.
